” “As he expressed his "appreciation of and gratitude for" the service rendered to the Successor of Peter by Fondazione Centesimus Annus, the Pope recalled that, through it, "you concur with other charity associations to improve the knowledge of social doctrine, with which the Church, as I wrote in the Encyclical Deus caritas est, intends to contribute to the purification of reason and the reawakening of the moral forces, without which no fair structure can be built or work for long". “All of you, as lay devotees added Benedict XVI , should feel as your own the immediate task of working for a fair order of society, since love must inspire the whole existence of lay devotees and therefore also their political activity in the form of social charity". Today’s meeting, went on the Holy Father, "should therefore strengthen you in this generous commitment. As you go back to your daily responsibilities, do feel closer and closer in the bond of Catholic communion and do live passionately the commitments you have taken on “. The audience, which took place in the Sala Clementina this morning, was also attended by card. Attilio Nicora, president of Assets Management of the Apostolic See, and Lorenzo Rossi di Montelera, president of Fondazione Centesimus Annus.” “
